Default Dirty oily intake

So last fall i was cleaning my MAF and throttle body, took those off the car and took a flashlight and shined in into the intake, only to see nasty oily mess coated everywhere in there. I am hesitant to use seafoam, or anything for that matter. I saw a video of a guy using berryman total combustion chamber cleaner on a 99 T/A and seemed pretty easy to do. I just dont want to mess anything up. Any thoughts or advice?

I would use seafoam or remove the intake and clean it. Then get a good catch can, RX performance, sikou michi (sp?) or I've heard good things about the mighty mouse can as well. If you don't get a CC it will just happen again.

My intake was like that too when I did H/C.....it was dripping out when I held it up. Not good for the engine

I would use Mopar combustion chamber cleaner, it is a foam. There are several write ups here if you search. I would not do the Seafoam intake manifold cleaning thing.

What's the deal with Seafoam? I thought it was good stuff.
